Aneto one day guided ascent in the Pyrenees

Join me on this fantastic one day ascent to the Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees.

You’ll fall in love with this mountain’s charm that only improves with sunset and sunrise, when the fascinating edges acquire a beautiful reddish color.

I have two routes planned for this trip that you can choose from. Either way, we’ll cross the Mahoma Pass, a myth for Pyrenees mountaineers, to reach the summit of the Aneto. On the way we’ll also get to see the biggest glaciers in the Pyrenees.

The first route is the classic North Face Route or Portillones Route. We’ll leave from the Besurta parking lot with a total altitude change of 1500 meters. This route takes 6 hours to climb and 5 hours to come back. We can also sleep in the Renclusa Hut at 2.140 meters and make the trip in two days.

The second route is the South Face Route or the Lagos de Coronas Route. This option also implies 1.500 meters up and downhill from the Fishermen’s Hut parking lot. It would take us 5 hours to climb and 4 to return.

Make sure to bring: mountain boots with Vibram soles, 30 liter backpack, suitable clothing (Scholer pants, thermal underwear, fleece, waterproof jacket, gloves, hat and cap), sun glasses, sunscreen and lip balm, water and food for the climb (2 liters approximately). I’ll provide crampons, ice axe, harness, rope and a first-aid kit.
